MISSES EVELYN MCTAGUE and Barbara Cantwell are shown at the Fashion Fantasy modelling dresses which they had made themselves. Birchwood Hig h School Establishes The Arts Planning, effort and enthusiasm were very much in evidence Wed- Mesday evening at Birchwood High School when the Home Eco- nomics Department presented a Fashion Fantasy and the Wood- working Department exhibited their projects. Acting Mayor Walthen Gaudet and Mrs. Gaudet, members of the City ' school board, rever- end fathers and sisters, parents end friends were in the capa- ty audience. —________--_ Colonel L. F. MacDonald. the principal of the school, wel- comed the guests and said that the school was. justifiabily proud of the Home Economics de- partment and the Industrial arts. The school auditorium had on display magazine stands, bird houses, bookends, tables and var- fous articles which had been made by the boys. Mr. Danton, the instructor of the woodworking department, has been teaching for twelve years in Chariotte- town. DRAFTING ROOM A visit to the drafting room re- vealed the fact that each project le firet drawn. Each boy has hie own desk, drafting text book, stool and drafting instruments. Thie equipment costs $115 for each. The bovs, although stress- ing general educafion, are given an imsight into industrial art. They are in charge of stores and equipment the same as in indus- try. They are shown films on electronics and are given the op- portunity to put mathematics in- te practical use. This is the first time on the Island that class- room ‘theory is being put into in junior grades. After the drafting. comes the woodworking department and here the boys are first taught to take care of their tools. The boys ere shown how to use such tools gs the chisel, square, plane and saws. Outside this province there ere four boys to a unit or wood- working desk. At Birchwood High each boy has his own individual unit. Materials cost $1,800 a year but the boys do not have to pay for this. When the plojects are finished they belong te them. do not have to pay for breakages. F SUPPLY ROOM _ department was in two paris. Part one was a travelogue. Ag- ainst a background of pictures the school chorus, and -beautiful organ music by Mrs. Dowd the school girls modelled the results of their skill in sewing. Italy was the first country vis- ited. The slides presented by Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Douglas in them- selves an evening's entertainment St. Mark's and the Leaning Tow- er of Pisa were shown and Ven- lice and Santa Lucia were sung Hby the choir under the direction of Mr. Alex MacLean. The lovely tones of the choir, as light as gos- samer, made it choral work long to. be remembered. Seldom does one hear such sweetness (except in singing) as was heard in the choral reading. Smoothness and careful phrasing were character- istic of both the singing and speech art. Spain and the singing of Juan- ita and a gypsy dance came . For the dance the girls wore Ca- orful skirts which they had made. Big Ben, the Mother of Par- liaments, Buckingham Palace and the Victoria Monument were some of the pictures for the Eng- lish travelogue. Judi Dowling as “pretty as a pink” ia a pink cotton frock sweetly sang May Morning accompanied Miss Deanna Reid of Notre Dame. The song for France was the old folk song “Gay is The background for Scotland was Edinburgh Castle with Scott's monument in the fore- ground. There was the “Road to the Isles” both on the pipes and in chorus. The Highland Filing by Heather Burke was a highlight. She was accompanied by her bro- ther Tommy on the pipes. The duet ‘Seann Triubbas”’ by Bernadette Shaw and Joyce MacDonald was very much en- joyed. Then came Ireland and views of Belfast. “The Wearing of the Green” preceded a tap clog by Rita Anne Callaghan with Gary Chipman on the violin, Rita Anne although young in years seems to give promise of becoming & trooper such as her father, Pius Callaghan, C.D.A. She was ador- able in her little girl Irish dress, There is a supply room in this | cap and pinafore. This outfit hed department and there is always @ bov in charge. Supplies are scruplously accounted for the game as in a large industrial or- ganization. of the instruments in this room are the lathe, drill press, sanding machine, table- eaw, planing machine and scroll axw. There is also a skate sharp- ener and there is a small charge for sharpening skates. This money fe used for special projects or to ty skates for some boy. who could not afford them. One of the most impressive points was the sign on the wall “Want Fingers? Obey instruc- tors.” Accidents are almost neg- ligible. The boys at Birchwood High are fortunate to have the training from a master crafts- man such as Mr. Danton. FASHION FANTASY genied by the Home Economics been made by the Sisters. The girls in the chorus wore aprons with Irish shamrocks. Those dancing the tap clog were |Coleen Berrigan, Brenda Dowl- ing, Mary Cullen, Linda Walsh and Marjorie St. John and ~car- cely a foot in the audience was still! In all this variety of program the girls of seven and nine mod- elied skirts, blouses and apron They were of an exceptionally high standard for such young seamstresses. CALLISTHENICS Part two opened with Calis- thenics and there was much ad- mired precision work in this. “Won't You Be My Valen- tine?”’ was a charming duet with the part of the Prince being tak- en by Sondra Britt and the Val- entine girl Janet Malone.
